Abstract
Consumer-grade smart devices, including smartwatches and smartphones, are potentially valuable tools in detecting cardiac arrhythmias, particularly atrial fibrillation, and their use is increasing. These devices, which use photoplethys mography, show remarkably high sensitivity and specificity for detection of atrial fibrillation, with implications for stroke prevention and management in at-risk patients. The ability of the devices to detect atrial fibrillation is being compared with single-lead electrocardiography. Physicians will increasingly be asked to interpret data from these nonmedical-grade devices as they become more common. Limitations include high false-positive rates in certain populations and disparities in access.
期刊介绍:
The mission of Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine (CCJM) is to provide its readers with up-to-date, practical, clinical information relevant to internal medicine, cardiology, and related fields. Consistent with this mission, CCJM focuses on timely review articles and other content that has a continuing-education orientation rather than on original research or case reports. CCJM authors, drawn from Cleveland Clinic and other top medical institutions throughout the world, are asked to identify new findings that are changing the practice of medicine and to advise readers how to apply them in daily patient care. Authors are chosen for their experience, acquired through caring for patients, teaching other physicians, and researching clinical questions.
